Holly Willoughby posts sweet picture of her shadow posing with daughter as fans praise her slender figure and ‘slim waist’

She added the caption: "Me and my shadow."

The arty black-and-white photo highlighted Holly's hourglass figure and tiny waist so, unsurprisingly, her fans were quick to lavish the star with compliments.

"You and your slim waist!" gushed one.

"Wish my shadow looked like that!" added another.

"Amazing figure," said a third.

Other fans waded in to compare Holly's physique to that of action hero Lara Croft, while more suggested Holly and Belle's outlines resembled Peter Pan and Tinker Bell and it looked like the duo were about to fly away.

"That's a Peter Pan shadow if ever I saw one," said one fan. Another simply said: “So magical.”

Holly's currently off-screen as she and This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield enjoy their annual summer break.

She's been making headlines lately thanks to her slimmed down figure, with fans begging to know her weight loss secrets.

But she's vowed in the past never to give too many details of her eating and exercise regime as she prefers to keep the focus away from body image and appearance.

“I don’t want to encourage eating disorders. I try not to focus too much on my appearance," she told .
“As long as I’m being healthy, that’s good enough for me. I’m quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus because it’s not the important thing.”

The Sun Online exclusively revealed in June how mum of three Holly had embarked on Pilates following the birth of Belle in 2011.

Fitness guru Lynne Robinson, director of Body Control Pilates in London, said: ‘I worked with Holly for several months, teaching her privately at her home once a week.

“Holly had postnatal mat work classes which concentrated on strengthening and toning her core.

"The exercises help trim the waist and flatten the stomach.”

While Holly hasn't commented on her weight loss, there was an awkward moment on live TV last month when she overheard Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha talk about it.

While linking over to the Loose Women studio from This Morning, Holly and viewers heard Nadia quipping: "Holly Willoughby's disappearing!"

It seems as if the Loose Women panel didn't know they were already live at the time.
